First Report. Prove cash and make a report.

To Prove Cash. Add in pencil each side of the cash book and find the difference. This is the cash balance. Do not rule the cash book. In actual business cash is proved daily. In many business houses it is also

balanced daily. But the number of daily cash transactions in this practice work is so few that is is not necessary to prove cash and balance it daily. Count the currency in the Cash Drawer. The amount in the Cash Drawer and the balance in the bank after adding the last deposit should equal the cash balance.

If the cash does not prove, compare the cash received with the amount deposited and the amount on hand in the cash drawer. Compare the check stubs with the cash payments.

Take a report blank from your envelope. Fill out the cash proof.

Take the papers from your Outgoing Papers envelope and put all the paid invoices together and all the unpaid together. Arrange each in the order of the dates. List the paid invoices on the report and find the total. List the unpaid invoices and find the total. Do the same with the receipts. List the checks from the Bank envelope and find the total.

Hand your report, your Outgoing Papers envelope, and your Bank envelope to your teacher for correction. He will return your Bank envelope with the checks to you. The other papers will be kept if they are correct. You are now expected to make out the necessary papers and to make the entries and records for each transaction without any special instructions. Every new transaction will be explained.
